## Installation

### From Community Plugins (Recommended)

1. Open **Settings → Community Plugins → Browse**
2. Search for **"Agent Client"**
3. Click **Install**, then **Enable**

### Via BRAT (Pre-release Versions)

To try pre-release versions before they are published to Community Plugins:

1. Install the [BRAT](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat) plugin
2. Go to **Settings → BRAT → Add Beta Plugin**
3. Paste: `https://github.com/RAIT-09/obsidian-agent-client`
4. Enable **Agent Client** from the plugin list

### Manual Installation

1. Download `main.js`, `manifest.json`, `styles.css` from [Releases](https://github.com/RAIT-09/obsidian-agent-client/releases)
2. Place them in `VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/agent-client/`
3. Enable the plugin in **Settings → Community Plugins**

## Quick Start

Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS/Linux, PowerShell on Windows) and run the following commands.

1. **Install an agent and its ACP adapter** (e.g., Claude Code):
   ```bash
   curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash   # Install Claude Code
   npm install -g @agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp   # Install ACP adapter
   ```

2. **Login** (skip if using API key):
   ```bash
   claude
   ```
   Follow the prompts to authenticate with your Anthropic account.

3. **Find the paths**:
   ```bash
   which node   # macOS/Linux
   which claude-agent-acp

   where.exe node   # Windows
   where.exe claude-agent-acp
   ```

4. **Configure** in **Settings → Agent Client**:
   - **Node.js path**: e.g., `/usr/local/bin/node`
   - **Built-in agents → Claude Code → Path**: e.g., `/usr/local/bin/claude-agent-acp` (not `claude`)
   - **API key**: Add your key, or leave empty if logged in via CLI

5. **Start chatting**: Click the robot icon in the ribbon
